(Get the code!)
So I worked around the bug the old fashioned way.
Purged dkms completely from my system, then removed the folder /var/lib/dkms
then reinstalled my videocard and wireless network adapter drivers
Then reconfigured virutalbox
1640 sudo aptitude purge dkms
1641 cd ~
1642 sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms
1643 sudo aptitud install dkms
1644 sudo aptitude install dkms
1645 dkms status
1646 sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-3.2
1647 dkms status

Question remains. Why does dkms get stuck, holding on to old entries, without cleaning them up?
